By empty (10/20/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The lower house of Kyrgyzstan\'s parliament ratified 10 international agreements on 20 October but not an agreement on the status of New Zealand personnel at the international antiterrorism coalition air base at Bishkek\'s Manas airport. The parliamentarians said they want more information on the makeup and financial expenditures at the base, which supports coalition missions in Afghanistan. They also want more information from Foreign Minister Askar Aitmatov, who was not present at the session, on the expected length of the coalition\'s presence in Kyrgyzstan.Visit also
